I feel a valid point has been brought up. Are American's popular as successful JET applicants? Because I can't imagine much use in learning American English. I speak 'Scots English' daily (e.g. You cannae go oot like that. It's freezing cauld oot there. Stick a semit on.), but if I were on the JET programme, I know proper English to be able to teach people the language. For example, the sentence in brackets would translate to 'You can't go outside dressed like that. It's very cold out there. Put a vest on', whereas, unless an American knew that 'faucet' was 'a (water) tap', 'pants' are 'trousers' & colour has a 'u' in it, the English taught would be useful only in America, & perhaps Canada. It could cause problems elsewhere though
